Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2006.

This dissertation encourages a dialogue between performance studies and public health theorists and practitioners, around black female sexuality, HIV, and performance. Currently, African American women comprise 64% of all women living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. A strong underlying theme to sexuality, pleasure, and desire in African American communities. This silence is further exacerbated by public health approaches to HIV interventions that successfully account for race and ethnicity, but have difficulty theorizing how cultural practices impact HIV intervention, prevention, and treatment efforts. Public health's inability to theorize culture creates a vacuum in HIV education---bodies are lost along with sexuality and the intimacy of sex practices. I argue that by attending to the cultural production of African American communities we can apprehend the bodies, desires, and pleasures lost in public health discourses on HIV/AIDS.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation encourages a dialogue between performance studies and public health theorists and practitioners, around black female sexuality, HIV, and performance. Currently, African American women comprise 64% of all women living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. A strong underlying theme to sexuality, pleasure, and desire in African American communities. This silence is further exacerbated by public health approaches to HIV interventions that successfully account for race and ethnicity, but have difficulty theorizing how cultural practices impact HIV intervention, prevention, and treatment efforts. Public health's inability to theorize culture creates a vacuum in HIV education---bodies are lost along with sexuality and the intimacy of sex practices. I argue that by attending to the cultural production of African American communities we can apprehend the bodies, desires, and pleasures lost in public health discourses on HIV/AIDS.
520 $a Artists and scholars of the performing arts have situated the body and cultural practices at the center of HIV/AIDS discourses to fill the void created by public health, and to demonstrate the efficacy of performance as HIV interventions. Using the qualitative methods of feminist ethnography and performance analysis, I argue that the Punany Poets---an Oakland, California based erotic performance poetry troupe further advance the notion of performance as intervention. Through erotic poetry, dance, and song the Punany Poets incite a dialogue on black female sexuality that can buttress public health HIV interventions. Their performance style intersects hip-hop, the blues, and the aesthetics of the Black Power Movement, but ultimately perform what I call Urban Erotic Activist Theatre or U EAT. As U EAT artists they articulate the aesthetics of African Americans living in the margins of African American communities. The Punany Project demonstrates the potential for collaborations between artists and public health theorists and practitioners in the implementation and design of HIV interventions.
